Chapter 639: Ten Wishes and Three Immortals (Ask for Recommendation, Ask for Collection)
Anning Town, originally just a small nameless village, but after the emergence of such a mage as Li Side, it became more and more peaceful, more and more people gathered here, and over time this place was also called Anning Town.
On this day, an ox cart creaked along the village road towards Anning Town, and two Confucian students in black clothes and high crowns sat on the car.
There were bursts of coughing from time to time in the ox cart, and a Confucian student who was driving the cart said worriedly: "Teacher, do we need to stop?" Trim it up? ”
"Okay?" An old voice came from the ox cart, which was slightly weak, but full of awe,
When Confucius heard this, although he was worried, he had no choice but to continue to drive the ox cart forward.
After walking a little further, they saw a field outside the town of Anning.
Compared with the free-range mode in other places, the fields near Anning Town are much more neat, the fields are covered with a thin layer of water, and many farmers and peasant women squat in the fields, planting the seedlings neatly and densely.
"Huh?" Confucius observed carefully and couldn't help but sigh lightly.
Seeing this, the Confucian student on the side raised his eyes, but he chuckled and said, "The earth is clear? Is he another deceitful person? ”
"Why did Senior Brother Niu say this?" The Confucian who spoke first was a little displeased: "I see that the earth here is clear, but it is from the inside out, not an ordinary evil art suppression, forcibly urging the earth's leylines to arise, how can I slander others?" ”
"What!" When the Confucian surnamed Niu heard this, he sneered and said: "In this world, apart from Confucianism such as us, which one is not an evil demon?" The earth's leylines are clear, even a great Confucian who specializes in agriculture is difficult to do, let alone a small mage in a remote area. ”
The dispute between the two attracted the attention of the old man in the ox cart, who stretched out his wrinkled hand, lifted the curtain, looked outside, and sighed softly, and then stood up with a solemn face, solemnly watching.
Seeing this, the two disciples who were driving hurriedly stopped the ox cart and waited for the old man's instructions.
The old man watched for a while, and then said, "I can't imagine that there is such a paradise in the world, if this leyline is not forcibly spawned by evil magic!" This master is a first-class figure in the world, and I should ask him to enter Beijing to teach his learning. ”
When the two disciples heard this, they all showed surprise: "Why is the teacher like this? ”
"When I look at this place, the earth's veins are also clear, and there is no turbidity, which is obviously not known by ordinary evil arts. If the situation in this place can exist for a long time, then the mage here should be a living sage, and his method is the method of salvation that I have been searching for for several years. ”
When his two disciples heard this, their faces couldn't help but turn weird.
Although the Confucian surnamed Niu just now spoke unpleasantly, he also revealed a fact in this world, except for Confucianism, the original cultivation methods in this world can be called evil and demonic outer ways.
After all, the world has gone crazy, and even with willow sprouts and humanitarian persistence, it is difficult to reverse the general trend.
In this world now, Confucianism, which purely relies on the power of humanity, can maintain its own purity, and many of the remaining Taoist systems, even if they specialize in the martial arts of the flesh, will inevitably be polluted in the later stages.
This has been going on for so long that everyone has taken it for granted.
But a few years ago, this disciple of thousands of Confucian disciples suddenly said that he had noticed the way to save the world, and he was looking around.
At the beginning, his disciples thought that the other party was to test themselves, so they followed one by one, but now there are only two Confucian students left around him.
The two looked at each other as if they were sighing, and continued to drive the ox cart forward, walking a little further.
Several children were bouncing on the side, and one of them stood in the middle, posing as a solemn appearance of self-righteousness, and said, "I am a master of the Ten Wishes, and you will be caught before you can wait for the demons and monsters?" ”
As soon as these words came out, several children on the side made a fuss, bluntly saying that they wanted to play the role of the Ten Wishes Master and let others play the role of demons and monsters.
Because of the proximity to the town, the old man had ordered someone to slow down, but there were no accidents. He got out of the car with the help of his disciples and asked, "Who is Master Ten Wishes?" Why do you call him Master of the Ten Wishes? ”
Seeing this, the child was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Because the Master has made ten vows and practiced wholeheartedly, he is more powerful than ordinary masters, so we are called the Great [Defense] Master or the Master Master." ”
"Then I don't know what ten great wishes this Master made?"
"I know this!" Another child stepped forward and replied with a smile: "First, praise the gods; Second, the beginning of refuge; Third, extensive cultivation and support; Fourth, repentance and redemption; Fifth, rejoicing in merit; Sixth, the transmission of scriptures and teachings; Seventh, ask God to live in the world; Eighth, the unity of knowledge and action; Ninth, dwelling in the world; Ten, universal dedication. These are the ten vows made by the Venerable Master. ”
"Oh! Or can he be called a good person? I don't know where these Ten Vows are now? ”
"Dare to ask where the old man came from?" Before the child could reply, an elderly man came up and asked, although he was wearing peasant clothes, his face was old, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary peasant in the past, and such an age was rare in the world.
Da Confucian didn't dare to call him old, and said bluntly: "In Xia Jiangdong Huangwen, this is my disciple Niu Lin and disciple Wang Gao!" ”
The old man has lived for a long time and knows a lot, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying: "Jiangdong Confucian Huang Wenguang, the old man also heard of your reputation in the early years. I don't know what the great Confucian is here? ”
Huang Wen said his idea of finding a way to save the world, and when the old man heard this, he pointed to the back mountain and said: "If you really want to seek a way to save the world, Master Li is quite possible, you can go and take a look!" He was in the back mountain, and he should still be preaching. ”
"Thank you!" After Huang Wen finished speaking, he gave a salute and ordered the two disciples to drive and walk towards the back mountain.
When they came to the back mountain, Huang Wen and others saw a surprising scene.
Li Side sat on a piece of bluestone, surrounded by clouds, among which sat a divine phantom, behind his head a round of thirty-two layers of aperture rotating, as hot as the sun, all around the body of the five-color auspicious, shining in all directions.
Sitting down, there are men and women, old and young, and there are many beasts and birds listening to the sermon, these people who hear the Tao, there are also bursts of precious light and clouds on the top, and there is also a sacred phantom faintly emerging.
Huang Wen and the others approached to continue to hear, and they also had something in their hearts, and in the dark, Huang Wen even noticed that a huge force fell from the sky, falling from his heavenly spirit, and after turning around, it rushed out from above the heavenly spirit.
Niu Lin and Wang Gao were also squeezed to the side by a force, and when they looked up, they saw wisps of golden red clouds rising above Huang Wen's head, and among them stood an old man with a high crown and a fluttering Confucian robe.
The old man's appearance is the same as Huang Wen's, holding a bamboo slip, Bai Hao blooms all over his body, and his whole body is full of Haoran righteousness, and his every move is full of heavenly might.
"What is this?" Huang Wen moved his hands and feet, and was surprised to find that his body was full of vitality, which was completely different from the appearance of aging. What's more, Haoran Righteousness, who was originally closely connected with him, is like one at this time, without the slightest barrier.
"Congratulations to the Taoist friends for gathering their minds and achieving the throne of Confucianism."
Li Side walked to Huang Wen and bowed down to congratulate him.
Huang Wen was surprised and asked the reason, Li Side, who had long been "penetrated" by Yuan Qingwei's will, said bluntly: "In the past, the invasion of heavenly demons polluted the Haotian Yuan Qi Sea, and the Qingwei Palace Lord was ordered to open a new heaven and bless the gods. ”
"I am fortunate to be taught the Mystic Law, and I can respectfully invite the gods to re-enter the world."
"It's just that the world is muddy, and the gods are clear, and it is useless to ask the gods to be truly in, so I will pass on the way of inviting the gods. Please bring down the power of the gods and bless all souls. ”
"Oh!" When Huang Wen heard this, he didn't show belief or disbelief, and asked, "Then, what is the old man?" ”
"Today's Confucianism is the Confucianism of the past, and most of the sons of the hundred schools you worship are also humane gods, so Confucianism is originally a Shinto method. Your Excellency is superb in Confucianism, you have read to the bones, you have heard my wonderful law, you naturally feel the gods of humanity, and condense the great Confucian throne. ”
When Huang Wen heard this, he felt a sense and asked: "What is virtue, meritorious service, and speech?" ”
"After receiving the wonderful teachings, I once heard that 'there is great virtue, followed by meritorious service, followed by meritorious service, and then there is speech, although it has not been abandoned for a long time, this is called immortal.' I have always felt that my lineage is very similar to Confucianism, and they are all in pursuit of immortality! ”
Li Side explained with a smile: "Lide is to create a vertical method and give to the public. Meritorious service means saving misfortune and eliminating difficulties, and merit is in time. Standing up is what it says, and it is enough to pass it on. These three can be described as three immortals, and all three are for the benefit of the people of the world. It can be said that it is to establish a heart for heaven and earth, to establish a life for the people, to continue to learn for the saints, and to open peace for all generations......"
At the beginning, Huang Wen was still a little indifferent, and when the words of the three immortals and the four were spoken, Huang Wen suddenly felt deafened, bowed down and said: "Wen Jun's words are better than ten years." Just these two sentences, should be my teacher. ”
Li Side hurriedly got out of the way, didn't even dare to say, and bluntly said that these remarks were all said by the great Confucian sages in the past.
Hearing these remarks, Huang Wen immediately believed most of Li Side's statement, and thought of his own vision, and asked again: "I don't know how to rank the Confucianism and Taoism gods?" ”
"Confucianism is endowed with natural orthodoxy, only to learn something, can be called Confucianism, at this time can be used to bless themselves, but has not yet entered the Shinto court. Only by going further, studying the Five Classics, and having your own perceptions, can you be called a doctor, or a gentleman, who is spiritually natural, turned into a law, and has a light red color, can he enter the court of humanity. ”
"Further, it is the great Confucian who is like this now, who has learned a lot, reads and reads to the bones, the unity of knowledge and action, and the golden red breath all over his body, which can be called a great Confucian. Further, it is pure gold in color, and at this time it is a living sage. ”
"If you want to go further, you have to be virtuous, meritorious, and speechless, and you are a saint."
"Oh?" Huang Wen was surprised, and asked again: "Since there is Jin Hong, can there be Jin Qing?" Or lapis gold? ”
"Naturally!" Li Side said with a smile: "Pure gold is a sage, although the saint is in the front, the virtuous is in the back, in fact, he is still a sage, although the virtue is outstanding, but the achievements in the holy road are weak, only in the virtue, meritorious service, and the three immortals can be transformed into saints." ”
"When the gold is green, it can be called a half-saint, the green gold is a sub-saint, and the last pure green is a saint."
When Huang Wen heard this, he couldn't help nodding secretly, he had already heard that the so-called virtue, meritorious service, and words were not simple.
Lide does not mean to establish morality, but refers to the creation of the system, to put it bluntly, with their own ideas and ideas, to better develop the society, for the benefit of the world.
Meritorious service is not simply to build bridges and pave roads, or to build canals, but to save misfortune and help the world. Only the kind of things that stand for a thousand years can be called meritorious service.
In the end, it seems simple, but in fact it is also very troublesome, it is not a simple book, only after the death of a person, the work is still read and even respected in the following years, can it be called a word.
These three, to put it bluntly, are all deeply traced in humanity.
"According to you, my family has thousands of teachers and disciples, and they are willing to give kindness to the people, and they have countless relief to the people, and their character is famous all over the world, and they should be sages." Niu Lin didn't know which tendon was drawn, so he interjected at this time, and he knew that it was wrong after speaking.
Li Side frowned, turned his head to look at the many people who listened to the sermon, and knew that someone wanted to use his mouth to hear more news. suppressed the displeasure in his heart, bowed to Huang Wen and apologized, and then began to explain.
"I don't know much about this, but as far as I know, the high character of a sage is not only in accordance with the law of etiquette, but also in influencing the law of etiquette, and his behavior is in accordance with the norm and can be used as a norm. Speaking can convince the people of the world without arousing people's jealousy and slander. ”
Li Side said this, and did not continue.
"With such virtue, it is no wonder that he can be called a sage." When Huang Wen heard this, he shook his head and bluntly said that he was still too far behind.
Subsequently, Huang Wen said that he wanted to stay and continue to listen to the lecture, and Li Side was naturally willing, so he discussed it with him.
Niu Lin and Wang Gao on the side also had a lot of understanding when they heard it, but Niu Lin seemed to be a little absent-minded because of the reason he had spoken before, Li Side was deliberately mentioning it, and Huang Wen also expressed his attitude.
Niu Lin gradually returned to calm, and with the discussion between the two, Niu Lin and Wang Gao gradually had a heroic aura surging on their bodies, and there was a white light circulating around them, according to what Li Side just said, they should belong to the level of Confucianism.
After the two discussed for an afternoon, on the second day, Huang Wen bluntly invited Li Side to Beijing, but he refused.
Huang Wen invited again and asked the reason, and Li Side couldn't help but recall the conversation with Yuan Qingwei a few days ago.
'Boy, here's your chance! ’
Yuan Qingwei's will directly echoed in Li Side's mind, and he asked with some curiosity: "What chance?" ’
"There is a great Confucian who has passed by you, this guy has already read the book to the bones, if you do it well this time, you may not be able to borrow his hand and introduce the law of inviting the gods into the national capital." ’
'Why can't I wait to go in person?' Li Side was a little puzzled.
'In person?' You kid forgot the female ghost a few years ago, for example, although there are many crises today, when there is still a lot of fighting within the human race, you can still teach slowly if you stay here, and influence the human race little by little in the countryside. If you go to the capital, believe it or not, you will never be able to come out again? ’
'That group of nobles, if they don't use your method as the foundation of their own existence, or create enough advantages, will not teach it to ordinary people at all. Even your current disciples will be unlucky. It is better to borrow the hand of this great Confucian, introduce it to Confucianism, and then borrow Confucianism to influence the high-level of the human race, and you yourself are guarding outside. ’
Thinking of this, Li Side refused again, Huang Wen's third invitation, but after he was still refused, he probably guessed Li Side's scruples, plus a little selfishness, so he didn't continue to be that wicked person.
After the two discussed for two days, Huang Wen finally sorted out a set of methods suitable for Confucianism to invite gods, and said goodbye to Li Side.
Soon after Huang Wen left, Li Side also left Anning Town and began to wander around the Terrans, teaching the Terrans and some creatures that were not seriously polluted, so that Yuan Qingwei's influence in the world became greater and greater.
